What prevails in our life: the fear of the wicked or the desire of the righteous?
• “What the wicked fears shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.” (Pro 10:24).
One of these fears are the illness. Fortunately, it there is this promise:
• “And the prayer of faith shall *save* the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” (James 5:15).
Lamentably, most of the people misunderstand what is being promised. Although the cure be attained (James 5:16), nevertheless the first preoccupation of the Creator is to save us. See the conversation between Jesus and the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:25-28) and between Him and the Samaritan woman (John 4:13-24).
In the first case, the woman first needed to realize her true reality, to wit: she was unworthy of procuring whatever it was direct from Jesus and, the most that she could acquire from Him it would be crumbles, and even so if she agreed to be His property, a pet animal under His total control.
In the second case, the Samaritan wanted to get rid of the work. She couldn’t see that her great problem was the absence of the true love and their insecurity in regard to the true God and how and where to worship Him.
We need to figure out that everything that come about us is consequence of our spiritual reality (pore on Isaiah 33:24). If we get spiritual health, we will be righteous and, as the desire of the righteous shall be granted, we will see all our “necessities” provided (Phil 4:19), much beyond what we can ask or fancy (Eph 3:20). Especially because:
• “The Angel of Jehovah camps round about those who fear Him, and delivers them.” (Psa 34:7);
• “O fear Jehovah, His holy ones; for there is nothing lacking to those who fear Him.” (Psa 34:9).
So, have a good week purifying your heart, so that you can find place in your feelings and thoughts for what Jesus already conquered for you (1Corinthians 2:9; Ephesians 1:3; 2Peter 1:3).
